Description-en: NSS module for encrypted DNS name resolution
nss-tls is an alternative, encrypted name resolving library to use
with glibc, which uses DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH).
.
The glibc name resolver can be configured through nsswitch.conf(5) to
use nss-tls instead of the DNS resolver, or fall back to DNS when
nss-tls fails.
.
This way, all applications that use the standard resolver API
(getaddrinfo(), gethostbyname(), etc'), are transparently migrated
from DNS to encrypted means of name resolving, with zero
application-side changes and minimal resource consumption footprint.
However, nss-tls does not deal with applications that use their own,
built-in DNS resolver.
.
This package contains the NSS module, a tiny client library, which
delegates the resolving work to nss-tlsd through the Unix socket and
passes the results back to the application, without dependencies
other than libc.
